Many eons ago in the sacred garden of Eden there was a man and his wife.

Their names were Eve and Adam and they loved each other more than words could say.

Every second of every day was spent by each other’s side as they leisurely went about the garden.

They shared many joys and memories together. To them the garden was not just a place but a home.

A home that they would forever stay in until the end of their days.

Or so they presumed.

On a day just like any other Eve was minding her own business, enjoying the fruit Eden provided for her when a snake appeared, along with a strange woman.

They had told her of a promise, a gift for her to have.

Free will

She was confused because she had always had free will, but they talked to her like she didn’t.

She was about to turn them away when they promised her that it would make her smarter than the angels above.

That made her take pause and thought, if she was as smart as the angels then she would be just like Sera.

The high seraphim that lead the angels, who frequented the garden to visit her and her husband.

Everytime she arrived Eve couldn’t help but envy how truly intelligent and regal she was. She was the epitome of what an angel should be.

She wanted to be like an angel.

To be like her.

So she allowed herself to be taken over to a tree, a tree that held fruit she was not to eat by the angels for the danger they held within its seeds.

She tried to express her worries to the other woman and snake but while the latter tried to take heed of her fears the former dismissed them.

She plucked an apple from its branches and forcing it into her mouth.

Before Eve understood what was happening she had bitten into the apple and swallowed.

Which would come to be her greatest downfall.

For when she had bit into the apple she not only inevitably caused evil to walk upon the Earth when breaking the one rule she was given she had caused evil to enter herself. The apple did bring her knowledge but it was in no way good.

A tiny part of evil planted itself inside her, whispering horrid things that nearly drove her insane.

But luckily for her she didn’t have to deal with it alone.

When she was cast out from her home for breaking the rule, and forced to live in a world cold and cruel, completely devoid of the warmth the garden provided she wasn’t alone.

Her husband had chosen to stay by her side, and soothe her fears as he chased away those unwanted thoughts.

He was her anchor, her rock, without him she wouldn’t have lasted in that world.

And so she made a promise to him. That she would always protect and care for him, to do the same as he did for her.

That was a promise that she swore with her soul.

—

Eve: Oh Addie….

Adam smiled down at his wife, rubbing her back softly as she sobbed into his chest.

He did his best to ignore the wide eyed stares from the princess and her little paramour of whatever the fuck she was to her.

He didn’t give a single fuck about what they thought about the display. All he cared about was Eve.

Three whole months had passed since he had been in his wife’s arms, he missed her every single day and had dreamed of being back by her side.

He didn’t believe it would be possible when he had woken up fallen from grace.

He thought he would never see her again; not only was he a sinner, the very scum he vowed to protect Eve from, but Heaven would turn their back should they ever laid eyes on him.

Adam and Eve stood outside the gates of Heaven. Adam refusing to budge, he wasn’t going to walk into the city of gold until they allowed his wife in. He didn’t care if her skin was drained of all color to where it was the color of snow, her hair was now the color of a starless night sky, and her eyes were the only of rubies with black marks around them. This was his wife and of the two people he was in love with, she was the one who stayed with him. But the angels wanted to keep them apart.

Michael: She was tainted when my brother gave her the apple. Evil took root in her, she is tainted.

Sera: I am so sorry Starlight.

Michael: Don’t apologize, evil isn’t allowed in Paradise. That is why Lucifer and later Samael were sent to the dark pit.

Adam: Without Eve, this isn’t Paradise, is there a way she can go to Heaven.

Sera: If someone takes her place and takes the burden of evil into them.

Michael: No one would do that.

Adam: I will do that.

Eve: No, please don’t. I was the one who made the mistake, you shouldn’t be punished.

But suddenly Adam was kissing Eve, this dark sludge that was evil was going from Eve to Adam through their mouths. Adam felt like vomiting, but he had to accept all of it. His skin went pure white, the halo fell with a clatter, his hair and wings became black, and where eyes became a blood red with those markings. When he pulled away Eve was an Heavenly Angel, her skin a soft ivory, her hair pale gold, her eyes silver, she now also gained silver wings, and her halo was silver with flowers in them. She was beautiful to Adam as always, everything about her was beautiful to him even the small gap in her front teeth.

Adam: I love you.

Michael grabbed Adam and dragged him away from Heaven. They couldn’t have Adam in Hell so they took him to the prison meant for Eve, Purgatory. He was thrown into a dark castle and was put in literal chains that only allowed him to walk around the castle like prison. It was like a princess locked in a tower waiting for her knight. But Michael would make sure no one would come down there. Once Michael was gone Adam fell to his knees as sobs shook his body.

10,000 years later…

Eve took on the role of Commender of the Exorcists. She hoped that by viciously cutting down the Sinner population the scourge of evil could be removed from Adam and she would have him again. Eve wore long black robes like a nun’s habit and chainmail under it. Her golden hair was up in an intricate braided style so she could wear the veil with a mask to cover her face. Once she heard a knock at the door she put it on. In walked Lute, Eve’s second in command. He was a young man with short white hair, soft grey skin, and the yellow eyes of a hawk. The Exorcists were an army of young male angels who were created to kill Sinners.

Lute: Sir, he wants to see you.

Eve thought it was funny that Lute insisted on calling her sir even though she was a woman. Eve also knew that the he Lute spoke with such venom was Lucifer Morningstar, the King of Hell.

Eve: I will go and meet him and I will do it alone.

Eve didn’t know why Lucifer wanted to talk to Eve. He didn’t know that Lilith abandoned Hell and made a deal with Eve to have her own spot in Heaven. Eve found it disgusting that Lilith was allowed in Heaven and yet Adam wasn’t because his body was seen as “contaminated” by evil because he took it from Eve. Lute protested but Eve held up her hand.

Eve: Lucifer won’t harm me, you should rest.

Eve then got up and used a portal to take her to Heaven’s Embassy in Hell.
